Skin procedures we offer include:

Injectables

Botox®

Botox is a neurotoxin that is used to treat expression lines in the face. We use it to treat horizontal forehead lines, vertical “11” lines between eyebrows, and horizontal lines around the eyes known as crow’s feet. We also treat area in the lower face and platysmal banding in the neck. Botox usually lasts 3-4 months. Slight bruising is a normal side effect.

KYBELLA®

KYBELLA® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aides in breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. This is an injection used to in the submental region (under chin) to get rid of excess fatty tissue in that localized area. KYBELLA destroys fat cells over a period of 8 weeks and gradually contracts the skin as the fat cells are absorbed.

Fillers

We use all Allergan products and our fillers are all in the Juvéderm® family. They are made up of hyaluronic acid and have lidocaine for numbing in them as well. Bruising and swelling are common after fillers, which typically lasts 3–7 days.

Voluma®: Used in the cheeks for rebuilding volume loss due to aging, also gives a mini lift on the lower face-usually lasts up to two years.

VOLLURE™/Ultra Plus: Used in the nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines to fill in volume loss and deep lines; also gives a lift to the lower face-lasts 12–18 months.

VOLBELLA®: Used to plump lips and fill in lip lines. This gives the lips a fuller, plumper look and can also be used to give a subtle flip to the upper lip if desired- lasts up to a year.

Juvéderm® Ultra: Is used to rebuild the boarder of lips, fill in very deep “11” lines between the eyebrows, and can also be used to rejuvenate ear lobes and provide a more defined chin. Usually lasts 8–12 months.

Laser skin resurfacing

HALO™ Pro

We use the HALO Pro laser for skin resurfacing. The HALO is an advanced fractional laser that uses hybrid technology of ablative and non-ablative beams to create controlled zones of coagulation at desired depths of the skin. This laser can be used superficially using the micro laser portion, or deeper using the resurfacing portion of the laser. We usually treat the face, neck and chest with the HALO Pro. Seven days of downtime is required for this procedure. Swelling, redness, peeling and occasional weeping are all expected within the first 3–5 days after a laser resurfacing.

This laser treats:

Acne scarring

Hyperpigmentation

Enlarged pores

Rough texture

Fine and deep wrinkles

Collagen and elastin loss

Aging skin

Discolored skin (loss of tone)

BBL (broadband light)

BBL is a non-invasive laser used to treat hyperpigmentation spots, such as: sun damage, age spots and freckles, it also treats broken capillaries, teleactangasias, and rosacea.

There is little to no down time with the laser other than slight redness, occasional slight swelling, and pigmented spots turning darker for 3–5 days before flaking off. We mainly treat face, neck and chest, but also treat arms and hands. This laser usually takes 3–5 treatments for optimal results.

Laser hair removal

Laser Hair Reduction (LHR)

LHR is a non-invasive light-based laser that delivers warm pulses into the hair follicle to reduce the amount of growth by about 70-80 percent. This laser best treats darker, coarser hair, but can reduce lighter thinner hairs as well. A typical session last 30 minutes to one hour and all area of the body are treated.

All skin types can be treated with this laser, and it typically takes 5–7 sessions to get optimal results. Most people require a few touch ups over the next year once completing the series. There is no down time for this procedure, but slight redness and burning at treatment area are common.
